Things I'm working on

The list.

Some of it is done. Some of it is still in progress. I keep adding to it.

Done

  • Walk the Camino de Santiago Completed

    The French Way, across northern Spain. Yellow arrows all the way west.

  • Trek to Everest Base Camp Completed

    17,598 feet. Not the summit. The place you go to understand why people try.

  • Homeschool eight children to graduation Completed

    All eight. Start to finish. The curriculum was mine to write.

  • Found the HOG Society Completed

    Built something from nothing, for people who needed a place to belong.

  • Design a crop circle garden Completed

    An odd project. The kind you can only appreciate from above.

In progress
